Why do I not remember this?

I don't remember where I read it, but, pretty sure it's in an early book (maybe the first or second book)?

I just finished re-reading the first book (in prep for the DISSECTION!! :D ) and don't recall reading anything about electricity being a problem in the Wizarding world. Maybe it's in COS but I don't think it's ever been addressed.

Sigh...

Only a Dissection will tell...


can't wait, can't wait, can't wait, can't wait.....


I mutter this under my breath and people ask me "can't wait for what?" and I say Dissection and they think I'm talking about frogs ... :roll: oh how trite!

Thinking about it some more, it seems perhaps the Elctricity intereference comment comes from Ron, the first time Harry visits the Burrow and has the Wireless radio explained to him?
